Once you’ve checked that we’re available for your date and chosen your package, we’ll send over everything you need to get booked in.

A £250 booking deposit secures your date, with the remaining balance due one month before your wedding. Once the paperwork and deposit are sorted, you’re officially in the diary!

Of course! We know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person capturing your wedding.

We’re always happy to arrange a video call to chat through your plans, answer any questions and get to know each other a little before you make a decision. No pressure at all.

As soon as you have your date and venue confirmed, it’s worth getting in touch. Popular dates, particularly summer Fridays and Saturdays, can book up well in advance.

That said, we sometimes have last-minute availability too, so it’s always worth asking!

Absolutely! Although we’re based in central Scotland, we love travelling to new venues and locations.

Whether you’re getting married close to home, elsewhere in Scotland or further afield, we’d love to hear your plans. Depending on the location, additional travel or accommodation costs may apply, but we’ll always discuss these with you beforehand.

Absolutely! We love the idea of travelling somewhere special to capture your wedding, whether that’s a sunny celebration abroad or somewhere a little closer to home. Over the last few years, we have captured Weddings in Italy and Greece.

Our photography, videography and hybrid packages are all available for destination weddings. Travel and accommodation costs would be additional, but we’d chat through everything with you beforehand and put together a clear quote based on your plans.

If you’re planning a wedding abroad, we’d love to hear all about it!

Of course! We know that as your wedding plans come together, you might decide you’d like to add a little something extra.

Whether it’s adding videography, a second photographer, a luxury album or content creation, we’re always happy to help you explore the options.

We simply ask that you keep in mind that your chosen package and the coverage included in it are confirmed at the time of booking, so we’re unable to reduce these later on. You’re always more than welcome to add to your package though!

Gary will be the person capturing your wedding day, whether you’ve booked photography, videography or one of our hybrid packages.

Rachael looks after much of the planning and communication behind the scenes, so you’ll get to know us both along the way!

If you’ve added a second shooter to your package, they’ll work alongside Gary to capture even more of your day – we have a pool of second photographers and videographers that we trust and use regularly who match our style and approach.

It’s actually what we specialise in!

Over the years, Gary has developed his own way of capturing both photography and film throughout the day, moving naturally between the two without needing a separate photography and videography team.

It means fewer cameras around you, less pressure and a more relaxed experience. Gary knows when to step in, when to blend into the background and how to capture those little moments as they happen.

The result? Beautiful photographs and a wedding film that tell the story of your day, without it ever feeling like a production.

Absolutely – and you’d be surprised how many couples tell us exactly the same thing!

Gary’s approach is relaxed, friendly and full of a bit of banter (with him being half-Scouse and half-Scottish, he tends to get on with everyone!). He’ll give you a little guidance when you need it, but there’s no expectation to spend your wedding day awkwardly posing for photographs.

The aim is for you to enjoy yourselves, have a laugh and almost forget the camera is there.

We’re in Scotland, so we’re certainly no strangers to a bit of rain!

First of all, please don’t worry if the forecast isn’t quite what you’d hoped for. Some of Gary’s favourite photographs he’s ever taken have actually been on rainy wedding days! Sometimes having to think a little differently and get creative with the light leads to something really special. And believe it or not, blazing sunshine can sometimes be trickier to photograph in than a bit of rain. We know, we’re probably the only people at your wedding who might say that!

There’s nearly always somewhere lovely to work with, whether that’s a quiet room, a cosy little corner of your venue or a beautiful window with plenty of natural daylight. Gary loves finding those unexpected spots that you might otherwise walk straight past!

And if we do get a wee break in the rain, we’ll absolutely make the most of it! All we ask is that you’re happy to be a little flexible too. If you’re up for braving a bit of drizzle and don’t mind the possibility of the bottom of your dress getting a little muddy, we can often capture some gorgeous moments outdoors. But equally, we’ll never ask you to do anything you’re not comfortable with.

At the end of the day, we can’t control the Scottish weather (if only!), but we can work with whatever it throws at us. So please don’t spend the lead-up to your wedding worrying about the forecast. Rain or shine, there’s always a way to create something beautiful, and sometimes the unexpected photographs turn out to be the ones you love the most!

Yes please! For full-day weddings, we kindly ask that a hot meal is provided for us (and our second shooter, if you’ve booked one).

Wedding days are long, busy and full of excitement, so having a wee chance to sit down, recharge and enjoy something to eat makes a big difference. We usually aim to take our break while you and your guests are enjoying your meal, so we’re refreshed and ready for the celebrations afterwards. Plus, photos and videos of people eating aren’t the most pleasant for guests or for your photos!

And please don’t feel you need to spend a fortune on this! It’s always worth having a chat with your wedding coordinator, as many venues offer more affordable supplier meals. Sometimes an allowance for an on-site restaurant works out better too.

We’re really not fussy – just something warm to eat and a little time to recharge is very much appreciated!

We completely understand why you’d want to ask this. After all, you’re trusting us to capture one of the most important days of your lives, and it’s only natural to want that peace of mind.

Thankfully, we do have plans in place should the unexpected happen.

If Gary were unable to attend your wedding due to illness or circumstances beyond our control, we’d do everything we reasonably could to find a suitable replacement through our network of trusted wedding photographers and videographers. Where possible, they would come on the day and we would still edit and deliver your gallery and video to keep it the same style that you booked.

Of course, if we were unable to arrange a replacement, you’d receive a full refund of everything you’ve paid us for your wedding package.

We take our responsibility to our couples incredibly seriously, and while we hope this is something we’ll never need to put into practice, we want you to feel reassured that we’d do everything possible to look after you.

This really depends on your plans for the day and whether you’ve booked photography, videography or one of our hybrid packages.

Our full-day packages cover everything from morning preparations right through to the first few dances in the evening. That doesn’t mean we’ll be knocking on your door at 6am though – trust us, nobody needs to see us at that hour!

We’ll chat through all the timings at your wedding planning meeting and work out what makes the most sense for your day. We’re usually at your venue before we even come to find you, getting our equipment ready, capturing those lovely establishing shots of the venue and all the little details before everything gets going.

And if you’re planning a particularly lively evening and would love us to stick around a little longer, that’s absolutely something we can arrange, if we’re able to! Additional coverage is available at an hourly rate, and we’re always happy to talk through the options.

We’ll also be upfront if we don’t think you really need the extra time. We’d much rather help you make the most of your coverage than have you spending money on something that won’t add much to your final photographs or film.

Ultimately, we’ll plan our time around your wedding, making sure we’re there for the moments that matter most.

With our photography package, Gary focuses on capturing your day through beautiful, natural photographs. Our videography package tells your story through moving images, bringing together all those little moments, emotions and sounds that make your wedding yours.

Our hybrid packages give you the best of both worlds! Gary captures both photographs and film throughout your day, without the need for two separate teams following you around.

It’s something we’ve spent years developing, and it’s perfect for couples who’d love both photographs and a wedding film while keeping everything relaxed and unobtrusive.

You can explore what’s included in each option on our Wedding Packages page.

It’s a question we’re being asked more and more, and although both capture video of your wedding day, they’re actually quite different!

A wedding videographer focuses on creating a professionally filmed and edited wedding film, bringing together the important moments, emotions and sounds of your day into something you’ll treasure for years to come.

A wedding content creator takes a more behind-the-scenes approach, usually capturing informal clips on a phone, little candid moments and fun snippets that are perfect for sharing on social media. The content is typically delivered much sooner too!

We think they complement each other beautifully rather than replace one another.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Lianna and her team from Captured by Fifteen to offer wedding content creation as an optional extra. You can find out more about what’s included and how it works on our Wedding Extras page.

Of course, we completely understand wanting to capture as much of your wedding day as possible!

You might have heard a few horror stories about photographers, videographers and content creators not getting along, but please don’t let that put you off. We believe there’s room for everyone when people communicate, respect each other’s roles and remember that the most important thing is giving you the best possible experience.

Gary is always happy to work alongside a content creator. We simply ask that you let us know at least a month before your wedding so we can have a chat beforehand, understand what everyone is hoping to capture and make sure we’re all working together rather than getting in each other’s way.

We do ask that we’re the only professional photography and/or videography team providing the services you’ve booked us for. This allows us to work naturally and capture those important moments without competing cameras.

We’ve also partnered with Lianna and her team from Captured by Fifteen, whose relaxed, behind-the-scenes approach works beautifully alongside our photography and films. You can find out more on our Wedding Extras page.

And of course, your guests are more than welcome to take their own photographs and videos throughout the day!

Ultimately, we’re all there for the same reason – to capture your wedding beautifully, without you having to worry about what’s happening behind the cameras.

Absolutely! In fact, you’ll receive your entire wedding gallery in both colour and black and white, at no additional cost.

We absolutely love black-and-white photography. There’s something timeless about it, and sometimes taking away the colour allows you to notice the little expressions, emotions and details in a completely different way.

But we also know that everyone has their own preferences, and what looks beautiful in colour can look just as special in black and white.

That’s why we don’t make you choose! Every photograph in your finished gallery is delivered in both versions, so you can enjoy your memories exactly how you love them.

It’s something we’ve always offered, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Every wedding is different, so there’s no set number of photographs you’ll receive. It really depends on your plans for the day, the length of your coverage and whether you’ve booked photography or one of our hybrid packages, as well as if you have booked a second shooter.

What we can promise is that we won’t hold back lovely photographs just to stick to a particular number! If we’ve captured a moment worth keeping, we want you to have it.

We carefully select and edit your images, removing duplicates, test shots and anything that doesn’t quite make the final cut. The result is a beautiful gallery filled with all the big moments, little details and everything in between.

And remember, you’ll receive your entire finished gallery in both colour and black and white, so you’ll have two lovely versions of every photograph to enjoy!

Your wedding film is so much more than just a recording of your day. It’s about bringing together all those little moments, emotions and memories that make your wedding yours.

From the excitement of morning preparations to the nerves before the ceremony, the laughter during speeches and those lovely moments you might not even realise Gary has captured, we want your film to feel like your story.

We love weaving together beautiful footage with meaningful audio from your ceremony and speeches, allowing you to hear those voices, words and reactions all over again. It’s often the little things that mean the most when you look back years later.

The films and features included will depend on whether you’ve chosen our Heirloom, Timeless or Heritage package, so we’d always recommend having a look at our Wedding Packages page for a full breakdown.

Ultimately, our aim is to create something you’ll want to watch again and again, bringing you right back to how your wedding day felt, not just how it looked.

Music plays such a huge part in bringing your wedding film to life, and choosing the right soundtrack is something we put a lot of thought into.

As part of your wedding planning, we’ll ask about your music preferences, favourite artists and the sort of songs you both love. It gives us a feel for your taste and helps us find music that suits you as a couple, rather than simply choosing something because it sounds nice!

And here’s a wee fun fact – Gary actually used to be a DJ! So he’s always had a love for music and knows just how much the right track can change the atmosphere, build emotion and bring a story together.

There is one little thing to bear in mind, though. Because of copyright and music licensing restrictions, we can’t simply use any commercially released song in your wedding film. Instead, we use specially licensed music, carefully chosen to complement your footage and the overall feel of your day.

Sometimes we’ll find something that fits your music taste perfectly, and other times a track you might never have heard before turns out to be just right!

While we can’t promise a particular song, your preferences absolutely matter to us. We want the finished film to feel like you, and the music is a huge part of making that happen.

Of course! It’s your wedding day, and we love hearing about the people, moments and little details that are particularly special to you.

During your wedding planning meeting, we’ll chat through everything that’s important, whether that’s a photograph with someone special, a surprise you’ve planned or a little detail that has a lovely story behind it.

We do ask that you trust Gary’s creativity and experience too. Some of the most beautiful photographs happen naturally, when you’re simply enjoying yourselves rather than working through a long list of poses.

We’re always happy to take inspiration from photographs you’ve seen and loved, but every wedding, venue and lighting situation is different, so we can’t promise to recreate an exact image.

And while we’ll do our very best to capture your requests, we can’t guarantee every single photograph or moment. Weddings are wonderfully unpredictable, and sometimes things happen in the blink of an eye!

The best thing you can do is tell us what matters most, then relax and enjoy your day. We’ll take care of the photographs while you concentrate on making the memories!

We know how important those family photographs are. They’re often the ones that end up framed on walls and treasured for years to come!

Before your wedding, we’ll ask you to put together a list of the family and group photographs you’d love us to capture. This helps us make sure we know who’s important to you and means we’re not trying to work everything out on the day.

We usually recommend keeping the list fairly short and sticking to your must-have combinations. It’s amazing how quickly group photographs can eat into your drinks reception, and we’d much rather you spend that time enjoying yourselves than standing around waiting for everyone to be gathered!

One of our biggest tips is to nominate a couple of people who know your families well and aren’t afraid to round everyone up. Gary is great at organising people, but knowing who’s Auntie Jean and who’s Uncle Tam definitely helps!

We’ll chat through the best time and location for your group photographs during your planning meeting, taking into account your venue, timings and, of course, the Scottish weather.

And don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you can’t grab Gary for a spontaneous photograph with your pals later on! We just like to have the important family combinations organised so that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Absolutely! While Gary usually captures weddings on his own, you can add a second photographer to your package if you’d like a little extra coverage.

Having a second photographer means we can capture more of those moments happening at the same time, whether that’s both of you getting ready in different locations, different angles during your ceremony or all those lovely candid moments with your guests.

It’s particularly worth considering if you’re having a larger wedding, getting ready in separate locations or simply love the idea of having even more perspectives of your day.

We work with a small network of trusted photographers who share our relaxed approach, so you can be confident they’ll fit naturally into your celebrations.

A second shooter can be added for £450, and we’ll happily chat through your plans to help you decide whether it’s something you’d benefit from. More information can be found on our Wedding Extras page.

And if we genuinely don’t think you need one, we’ll tell you! Our aim is always to recommend what’s right for your wedding, rather than adding extras just for the sake of it.

If you’ve booked our Heritage package, your second photographer is already included! Have a look at our Wedding Packages page for more information.

Absolutely! Your wedding day only happens once, so being prepared for the unexpected is something we take incredibly seriously.

Gary always comes equipped with backup cameras, lenses and other essential equipment. If something decides to stop working at the worst possible moment, we’ve got alternatives ready to go!

Our cameras also use dual memory card slots, meaning your photographs and footage can be recorded to two separate cards at the same time. It’s an extra layer of protection that gives us peace of mind while we’re capturing your day.

And the care doesn’t stop when the wedding finishes! Once we’re back, we make sure your files are safely backed up, with a cloud backup kept so we’re not relying on just one memory card or hard drive.

Of course, no technology is completely foolproof, but having photographed and filmed hundreds of weddings, we know just how important it is to have these precautions in place.

These are memories you can never recreate, and we treat them that way. All you need to worry about is enjoying your wedding – we’ll take care of the rest!

Absolutely! We hold both Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance, so you can have peace of mind knowing we’re properly covered.

We take our responsibility to our couples and their venues seriously, and having the right insurance in place is just one of the ways we make sure we’re prepared for the unexpected.

Some venues may ask for proof of insurance before your wedding, and that’s no problem at all! We’re more than happy to provide the relevant documentation whenever it’s needed.

It’s one less thing for you to worry about, leaving you free to concentrate on all the exciting parts of planning your big day!

We’ve now had the pleasure of capturing over 400 weddings, and even after all this time, there’s still something really special about being part of someone’s big day!

Over the years, Gary has photographed and filmed weddings of all shapes and sizes, from intimate celebrations and elopements to big weddings with hundreds of guests. No two weddings are ever quite the same, and that’s one of the things we love most about what we do.

All that experience has taught us that being a good wedding photographer or videographer is about so much more than knowing your way around a camera. It’s about putting people at ease, thinking on your feet, adapting when plans change and knowing when to step in and when to quietly capture a moment as it unfolds.

It’s also helped Gary develop his approach to hybrid photography and videography, allowing couples to have both photographs and film without needing a whole team following them around.

And while we’ve captured hundreds of weddings, we never forget that this is your one and only wedding day. To us, it’s never just another booking in the diary.

Not at all! In fact, visiting a wedding venue for the very first time is one of our favourite things to do!

While it’s always lovely to return to a familiar venue, there’s something really exciting about discovering somewhere new. Some of Gary’s favourite photographs have been taken at venues he’s never visited before, simply because a new space encourages him to look at things differently and get a little more creative.

Having captured over 400 weddings, Gary has plenty of experience working in all sorts of venues, from grand castles and country houses to rustic barns, outdoor ceremonies and everything in between.

The most important thing isn’t knowing a venue inside out – it’s knowing how to work with the light, find beautiful locations and adapt to whatever the day brings. We genuinely love exploring new surroundings, spotting little corners with gorgeous natural light and finding opportunities for photographs that might not be immediately obvious.

We’re usually at your venue well before we start photographing you, giving Gary time to have a look around, get a feel for the space and find those lovely little spots that might otherwise go unnoticed.

We’ll also chat about your venue during your wedding planning meeting, so if there are particular features or locations you’ve fallen in love with, we’d love to hear about them.

So please don’t worry if we haven’t worked at your venue before. You don’t need someone who’s photographed the same staircase a hundred times – you need someone who knows how to make the most of what’s in front of them, wherever that might be!

We know how exciting it is waiting to relive your wedding day, and we promise your photographs and films will be worth the wait!

Every photograph and film is carefully edited, with plenty of time and attention going into making sure your finished memories are something you’ll absolutely love.

Turnaround times can vary depending on the time of year, the package you’ve booked and how busy our wedding season is. We’ll always explain your expected delivery timeframe when you book, so you know what to expect. We usually aim to deliver both photographs and films within 12-14 weeks, even in peak times, however if we’re going to go beyond this, we will let you know!

And please don’t think we’ve forgotten about you while we’re working away behind the scenes. We’re just making sure everything is ready for you to enjoy!

We know that once the wedding is over, you’ll be desperate to see some photographs!

We love sharing a little preview of your day whenever we can, giving you something lovely to look back on while we work on your full gallery.

Sneak peeks are subject to our editing schedule, particularly during our busiest months, so we don’t promise a specific number of photographs or an exact delivery date.

We usually let you know when to expect them on your Wedding day – this allows us to be as accurate as we can with our schedules at the time.

But rest assured, we’re just as excited for you to see your photographs as you are!

There’s nothing quite like getting that message to say your wedding photographs or film is ready!

Your finished photographs will be delivered through a beautiful online gallery, where you can view, download and share your favourites with family and friends. And of course, you’ll receive your entire gallery in both colour and black and white!

Your wedding films are delivered through MediaZilla, a lovely online platform that gives your films their very own beautifully presented collection. Rather than simply sending you a video file, you’ll have a dedicated space where you can sit down together, watch your films and share them with the people you love.

You’ll also be able to download your films to keep your own copies, so those memories are safely yours to enjoy for years to come.

We’ll send you everything you need to access your gallery and films once they’re ready. Then all that’s left to do is get comfy, grab a drink and enjoy reliving your wedding day!

Of course! We absolutely love seeing our couples sharing their wedding memories with family and friends.

You’re more than welcome to post your photographs and films on your personal social media accounts. All we ask is that you don’t add any filters or make any changes to the finished images, as we’ve put lots of care into getting the colours and editing just right.

And if you fancy giving us a wee tag, or even collaborate with us on Instagram, when you share them, we’d absolutely love that too!

Most importantly, they’re your memories, and we want you to enjoy showing them off!

Your wedding memories are incredibly precious, and we want you to be able to enjoy them for years and years to come!

The online platforms we use to deliver your photographs and films are designed to keep your galleries and collections available indefinitely, so you can revisit them whenever you fancy a trip down memory lane.

That said, we always encourage our couples to download everything and keep their own backup copies too. Whether that’s on your computer, an external hard drive or in cloud storage, having your memories saved in a few different places gives you that extra peace of mind.

Although our online platforms are intended to keep your files available forever, technology can change and unexpected things can happen, so we’d never recommend relying on just one place to store something so special.

Think of your online gallery as a lovely place to revisit and share your memories, with your own downloaded copies safely tucked away for the future too!

We put a huge amount of care into editing your wedding photographs and films, and our aim is always to create something that feels natural, beautiful and true to your day.

When you book us, you’re also choosing our style of photography, filming and editing, so we’d always encourage you to have a good look through our work beforehand to make sure it’s something you love!

When we send over your preview photographs, please take a little time to look at them carefully. This is your opportunity to let us know if you have any concerns about the colouring or overall editing style. We’re always happy to have that conversation at the preview stage, but once your full gallery has been edited and delivered, we’re unable to make changes to the colouring if concerns weren’t raised beforehand.

Retouching isn’t included as standard. While every photograph receives our usual professional editing, more detailed work such as removing objects, distracting elements or making significant alterations to an image is an additional service and may incur a charge.

One thing we’re particularly passionate about is keeping people looking like themselves. We don’t alter body shapes, change someone’s size or digitally reshape their appearance. We believe this kind of editing raises ethical concerns, and it’s simply not something we’re comfortable doing. Your wedding photographs should celebrate you and the people you love exactly as you are, not a digitally altered version of yourselves.

And here’s a wee tip for the wedding morning! Try to keep your getting-ready spaces as tidy as possible. We know there’s usually a whirlwind of bridesmaids, groomsmen, dresses, suits, makeup bags and half-finished cups of tea, but having everyone help keep bags, packaging and clutter out of the way makes such a difference to your photographs. We don’t routinely remove distracting items during editing, so a quick tidy beforehand really does help!

If there’s ever something you’re unsure about, please just ask. We’re always happy to explain what’s possible and chat through any additional editing requests.

Absolutely! There’s something really special about having your wedding photographs printed in a beautiful album rather than leaving them sitting on your phone or computer.

Our luxury wedding albums are designed to tell the story of your day, bringing together your favourite photographs in something you can sit down with, flick through and treasure for years to come.

You can add a luxury album to your wedding package for £450, or if you’ve booked our Heritage package, your album is already included!

You can find out more on our Wedding Extras page, and we’re always happy to chat through the options with you.
